Extra info
Silver (trillion) coins used in the Malay archipelago between the 9th and 13th centuries. Probably first developed on Java during the Śailendra period before spreading to various locations, such as Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula. In the literature usually called "sandalwood flower coins," based on the inverted design, or " Mā coins." Often inaccurately referred to as Majapahit coins, although the general use of these coins predates the founding of the Majapahit Empire in 1293 AD. By the fourteenth century, cash transactions in Majapahit had effectively shifted to Chinese cash coins (Wicks 1986: 44-47, 50-55).
This lot is offered in our special SSA Numistrust selection auction; this special semi-monthly auction runs after the weekly auction on Tuesday.

Seller's Story
Numistrust | The Numismaat originated from a passion for numismatics that has existed for more than 15 years. We focus on world coins of higher quality, rarer specimens, and precious metals. Personal service, honest descriptions, and professional handling are our top priorities. We regularly collaborate with MuntMarkt for the services related to grading and certifying coins, so we can support our customers in that area as well.
Besides Catawiki, we are active on LastDodo. In the future our offering will be expanded further with gold and silver bullion coins and additional sales channels, including eBay.
Our goal is not to be the largest supplier, but to become a reliable partner for collectors who value quality, honesty, and personal service.
We wish you much success and enjoyment in bidding!
With numismatic regards,
